To All My Readers and Friends:
I want to apologize for not posting my blog yesterday. I am on chemotherapy drugs for my auto-immune diseases and suddenly there was a shortage of my chemo medications which caused some severe withdrawal symptoms.
A pharmacy friend found 2 vials for me to take, but that's only two weeks worth. I'm trusting the Lord to make a way until
the medications are available again.
If that wasn't bad enough, I found out the reason for the shortage, since Roe-vs-Wade was overturned, the doctors are prescribing Chemotherapy drugs to accommodate women
and girls who want an abortion.
These drugs are dangerous and cannot only kill the baby, they can kill the mother. And, if the abortion isn't successful,
the baby can be born with a number of birth defects.
I don't advocate sexual activities before marriage, but wouldn't
CONTRACEPTIVES be a better idea than ABORTIONS?

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are
not worthy to be compared with the glory which
shall be revealed in us.

ENTHUSIASM
A large part of life centers around anticipation and enthusiasm. How much we would lose if we were to wake up one day to the unexpected announcement:
"Christmas in 10 minutes!"
Enjoying many of life's events is built on the fact that we have time to anticipate them.
Christmas, vacations, sporting events, birthdays, and any other event that you enjoy, you eagerly await.
We eagerly await Christmas, vacations, sporting events, birthdays, and any other event we enjoy. They all grow in value because of the hours we spend looking forward to
them--eagerly running through our minds the fun, challenges, and excitements they'll bring.
MY VERY OWN ANTICIPATIONS
I think about the value of anticipation and the thrill it can bring to the human heart when I read PSALM 30:5b, "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning."
The psalmist is declaring the comforting idea that our earthly sorrow lasts a short time compared to the anticipated joy that will begin in heaven and last forever.
Paul pens a similar idea in 2 CORINTHIANS 4:17, where we discover that our "light affliction" leads to a glory of eternal value.
For now, those who weep can dwell on hope instead of hopelessness and anticipation instead of sorrow. It may be nighttime in our hearts, but the dawn of eternity lies ahead.
And with it, God promises the endless joy of heavenly mornings.
SOMETHING TO PONDER
Tribulation, grief, and sorrow
Are but heaven's steppingstones...
To a bright and glad tomorrow
Where no heartaches will be known.

TODAY: We can endure this life's trials because of the
next life's joys.
